College Hills Church of Christ -Becoming a member of the College Hills family

Becoming a member of the College Hills family ...

Becoming a member is a simple but important process. We believe that every believer should be an active part of the family of God using their talents and gifts (I Corinthians 12, Romans 12).

One must ...

… believe that God is the creator (Genesis 1).

… acknowledge that we sin and are undeserving of God’s grace (Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23) and have a repentant heart (Acts 2:42).

… believe that Jesus Christ is the risen Son of God (John 20:31; I John 5:1, 5; John 3:16; John 6:35; John 11:26; Romans 1:16; Acts 2:36) and be willing to confess that beliefs in words, attitude, and actions (Romans 10:9).

… be baptized as a demonstration of our belief in Christ for the forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:38; Acts 8:36-39; Acts 9:18-19; Acts 10:47; I Peter 3:18-22).

… commit to live life of fellowship with other believers (Acts 2:42-47) and service to God and His will (Titus 2:11-14).

We will do our best to help you find a place to belong among the other family members. We want you to know that you are welcome, wanted, and needed.

With each point listed there are a few scripture references for your own personal study. Passages are best studied within their context which we encourage you to do. Each step of faith listed has many passages which may be referenced in addition to those listed. We welcome the opportunity to study with you.
